When we arrived in Cairo, Hesham was waiting for us, and he organized a dinner cruise for us. He was very knowledgeable about his city and was very clear when explaining. He also helped us establish a tour to see the Pyramids. With a short stay in Egypt, Hesham made sure we covered everything we needed to do. In addition, Hesham was excellent in picking us up, to and from the airport in Cairo. In Luxor, Remon was our guide, and he took us to the main places to see. He was very patient and answered all of our questions, and his English was very good. He too was very knowledgeable about his city. He arranged a nice lunch and motor boat ride for us as well, which was a great way to see Luxor. I would highly recommend this tour and these guides!

Guided Tour with Remon

Yoni_R, May 2024

Great package! We had an incredible time exploring The Valley of the Kings. Our guide, Remon, is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this package if it is your first time exploring Luxor. You have peace of mind letting this group plan out your day.

Fantastic experience

Janette_H, May 2024

We had an amazing time on the trip from the pick up at the hotel with Raafat to Remon our Egyptologist being so educational with his knowledge and Mina driving us in Luxor. What a fantastic once in a lifetime journey.

Response from Host, May 2024

Amazing sites

Amie_T, Jan 2024

We had a knowledgeable Egyptologist, Remon, who was friendly and flexible. He showed us what we wanted and skipped sales stops we were not interested in. I wish the flights were booked better as we didn’t return to Cairo until midnight and there were earlier flights. Over all a good taste of Luxor

Response from Host, Jan 2024

thank you but druring time of booking no flight , maybe some one canceled that day thats why you see free seat thank you

Ask for Dina!!!! Best tour guide hands down

Tamara_N, Dec 2023

Dina, our tour guide, was amazing! So much history. We learned a lot and was thrilled with her. If you have time, Luxor is a must!

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Great for traveling alone

Dawn_H, Dec 2023

Excellent tour guide who customized the trip to meet my needs! He was beyond competent, had great suggestions, and made a wonderful travel companion as I was traveling alone. Felt completely safe and well looked after. Couldn't have asked for better!

Amazing Luxor

Kimberly_w, Jul 2023

The history of the area was AMAZING! Our tour guide Deena did a good job of explaining things although she did get a bit tired towards the end of the day (it was very hot!) and was on her phone more often than we would have liked. But we would highly recommend spending a day in Luxor to round out the Egyptian history!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

thank you , dina is the best guide in luxor , first time to get this from her , we will take that in consideration and her reply she was in call emergency with her faimly and thats was during you had a free time not tour time , be fair and enjoy your vacation

Best Luxor guide and driver

Renee_S, Jul 2023

Michael and George are Amazing guide/driving team! I wouldn’t travel to Luxor with anyone else. Great communication beforehand, attentive and knowledgeable tours, very flexible and accommodating, safe and flexible to show us what we wanted to see most in a short time period. I can’t give them enough stars. Highly recommend them!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

I was only in Egypt for...

Marjorie_F, May 2023

I was only in Egypt for four nights and am so glad I decided to add this whirlwind tour onto my itinerary. Luxor was a welcome change from the bustle of Cairo, and it would have been a shame to miss all that it has to offer. Despite traveling solo, I agreed to share the tour with two other people on my same flight. It was actually nice to have the company as we tried to keep up with our high-paced, energetic tour guide, Maret! We packed so much into the day and found Maret's insights and knowledge of the sites and culture invaluable. We ended up choosing to take a boat ride to banana island for a delicious meal for an extra $25 per person. While I am glad that we chose this option, it seems like something that should have been included in the price of the tour. Also, I found out that the other couple with me each paid $205 less than I did for the tour, which is a bit annoying!

Response from Host, May 2023

Great tour of Luxor’s Top Sights!

Kyle_P, May 2023

Dina was a fantastic tour guide. She was knowledgeable, was fluent in English, and showed us a great time. Our driver was great too. If you only have a day in Luxor, we highly recommend this tour. Private van, you get a whole day of activities, and the option to upgrade your lunch with a ride on the Nile to an off-the-beaten path restaurant with great local cuisine. If you book from Cairo I recommend booking your own plane tickets, the tour operator arranged for our transfer to and from the airport in Cairo, where we were staying, and we paid a lot less than you’d pay if you book the tour option with flights included. The whole tour was well worth the price!

Worry-free VIP tour, absolutely worthwhile to travel with them!

Lester_C, Apr 2023

Michael, the tour guide and George the driver are an absolute gem! They made the entire trip enjoyable, informative, relaxing and worry-free. From the get go, the pickup and communication is smooth, and Michael is very upfront with the plans - the itinerary, the duration, distance and time of travel, and gives you room to prep yourself of what’s to come. The most commendable part is, he knows what are the timing of the tourist crowd and he plans accordingly to give you the best comfort (example : visit to the outdoor Queen Hatshepsut temple early in the morning, when the crow picks up, we visited valley of the kings because it’s warmer and we’re underground viewing the tombs anyways. And then Luxor temple when the guests has left back for their day tour from their cruise). I got the best timing with the least crowd! And he suggested to upgrade to a nicer lunch, took a nice boat ride too which was worth every penny. We finished rather early and he also suggested a number of other places to visit. Not to mention the driver was also very prompt in the pickup between locations, car was quite the VIP one =) all in all it’s definitely a recommend, and for those who are looking for a worry-free trip, just go for Michael!

Rebecca_N, Mar 2023

This was a great tour! Our tour guide was awesome! He was very informative and throughly explained things. It was our favorite tour this trip.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Incredible day in Luxor!

Kirk_L, Mar 2023

Although we started early a day after arriving in Egypt, deciding to get up early to fly to Luxor for this tour ended up being a great idea! From the time we were picked up at our hotel in Cairo to the end of the day drop off back at our hotel, we had a great time and our guides and drivers were all excellent. Hossam, our guide in Luxor was outstanding and I would request him again for any tour in Luxor. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable and spoke very good English. He even took the time to take us to a special restaurant on the island via a private boat. Wasn’t on the original itinerary, but added another special event to our day tour. Thanks again for a special day!

Magical day with the perfect guide!

Margarita_D, Jan 2023

We booked this trip at the last minute and from the time we booked it was magic. They got us on a later flight cause we were exhuasted and we were met at the airport by the lovely Dina. She rearranged the day so we could still get everything done we wanted. We started off on the West Bank took a boat saw the valley of the kings and moved to the temple of Hatshepsut and went to a stone makers home. We went to banana island for lunch and laughed the whole time and shared stories. We went to a few more temples and went to the spice market. She was incredible and super sweet and helped us at every turn. We absolutely loved her and wanted to spend more time with her and if you can please request her!!!! We cannot begin to show enough gratitude for this wonderful adventure!!!!

This is the way to go

Joshua_G, Sep 2022

Traveling in a new country can sometimes be stressful, especially when you are traveling out of an unfamiliar airport. All of our concerns were alleviated from the moment we were picked up at our hotel. Our day started extremely early (430 am) but our driver Ahmed met us on time and was very courteous and friendly during our drive to the airport. Upon arrival in Luxor, Dina was waiting and greeted us with a warm smile. She made us feel welcome and comfortable instantly. She had our day planned out and knew the best places to go based on the time of day, the weather and most importantly, how to avoid the larger crowds of tourists. She patiently waited for us as we took pictures and explored the various locations and even joined us for lunch at an amazing location on the Nile. One of the best parts of this trip was sitting down for a meal and learning about her life, her job, and her culture and sharing with her the same about us. At the end of our long day she took us to the airport and made sure everything was in place for us for our departure back to Cairo. When we landed, Ahmed was there waiting for us and seemed genuinely excited to hear all about our trip. This was the perfect, all-inclusive experience for anyone who wants to experience the incredible history of Luxor. I highly recommend this tour and most especially, ask for Dina. She is a one-of-a-kind guide and a genuinely caring person. We look forward to coming back and seeing her again.

Best Tour Guide Dina in Luxor Full Day Trip

Ahmaad_M, Jul 2022

First off Ahmed our driver to and from the Cairo airport was fun, entertaining, professional and prompt and patient. He was awesome. Dina is the most amazing tour guide and made us feel like family while we explored Luxor and the amazing historical sites. The boat ride and banana island lunch was the best! Fedi was professional, made us feel safe, promptly arrived at every location and had a superior and clean, cool van for our comfortable transportation. Thank you Hesham Egypt Tours for organizing these amazing people and giving us a memorable experience.
